• Question - What does "Soft corner for him due to discrimination" mean? ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 01:52, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

:* I feel bad, when people calling him Nepali as per the sources instead of supporting the talent. Well, this is similar to black & White in the USA. Sonofstar (talk) 03:38, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

• Keep – a WP:BEFORE search finds a fairly solid number of secondary sources, including actual scholarly sources (which is not all that common for an article about a rap musician).

In addition, there are sources such as [https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/guwahati/tripura-boys-song-notches-one-million-hits-on-youtube/articleshow/20962562.cms this Times of India article], [https://thenewsmill.com/tripura-rapper-bk-releases-new-rap-on-coronavirus/ this from The News Mill], [https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/the-indian-language-of-hip-hop/articleshow/63147496.cms this from TOI] (not a full-length article but more than a trivial mention), [https://www.thebetterindia.com/172549/gully-boy-northeast-hip-hop-khasi-bloodz-music/ this from This Better India], and [https://rollingstoneindia.com/voices-from-the-north-east/ this from Rolling Stone India] (one paragraph), none of which is in the article currently. --bonadea contributions talk 14:46, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

• Keep as per the multiple reliable sources identified above including scholarly sources and reliable media sources that amount to significant coverage that can be used to expand the article and show a clear pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:00, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
• Comment I might say for the links shared about are not independent. If you observe the articles its clear that this is a PR and nothing else. Rest for Cambridge University Press and others I am not sure as I don't have the links of it. Sonofstar (talk) 06:25, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
